Terrain Influences on Precipitation in the Intermountain West as Related to Synoptic Situations
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Precipitation in the Wasatch Front area of northwest Utah was analyzed with regard to different storm types. It was found that precipitation associated with ?cold lows? aloft was relatively greater at valley than at mountain ... -
A Numeric-Pictorial Display for Meteorological Observational Data
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)A new technique of presentation of meteorological observational data based on automatic data processing methods is described. The record form combines the advantages of the pictorial characteristics of a graphical plot and ... -
Six Years of Operational Numerical Weather Prediction
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Significant developments at Suitiand, Md., since the spring of 1956 in operational numerical weather prediction (NWP) are discussed. Several improvements made in the operational barotropic model are reviewed. Current NWP ... -
Model Cross Sections Across the Jet Stream
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Several jet-stream models have appeared in the literature over roughly the past decade. It is felt that these various models do not adequately describe the isotach patterns in the jet stream under various synoptic conditions ... -
A Comparison between the Height of Cumulus Clouds and the Height of Radar Echoes Received from Them1
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)A comparison is made between the angular elevation of the visible top of a cloud tower and the top of the radar echo associated with it. Employing a 10-cm WSR-57 radar, we find angular differences between 0 and +1° with ... -
Radar Precipitation Echo and Satellite Cloud Observations of a Maritime Cyclone1
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Satellite-observed cloud patterns for five days during the evolution of a major, extratropical maritime cyclone associated with a strong Ω-shaped blocking pattern were studied for the period when the storm existed over a ... -

Diffusion in Shear Flow
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)In the Green Glow program conducted near Richland, Washington, during the summer of 1959, 26 diffusion experiments were conducted during nocturnal inversions. The tracer was released near ground level. Samplers were placed ... -
Observations of Buoyant Plumes in Calm Stably Stratified Air
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Buoyant plumes, in a stably stratified environment, have a definite height limit. This was studied in the calm stably stratified air of an ice skating rink by using model and schileren techniques. Observed plume heights ... -
Time of Formation and Burn Off of Nocturnal Inversions at Detroit
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Four resistance thermometers which are installed on the WJBK-TV tower in Detroit provide continuous records of the temperatures at heights of 20, 300, 600, and 870 ft. From these records, times of formation and burn off ... -
Variation of Carbon Monoxide Concentrations as Related to Sampling Interval, Traffic and Meteorological Factors
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)Diurnal variations of carbon monoxide concentrations and traffic density, exemplified in the literature as common for urban areas, were observed at ?curb-side? studies in Nashville, Tenn., and Cincinnati, Ohio. A new ... -
Detailed Acoustic Structure above the Tropopause
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)The general features of atmospheric acoustic structure in the lower mesosphere have been known for several decades. Initial studies were accomplished by surface observations of anomalous propagation of pressure perturbations ... -
The Development of Quantitative Relationships between Orographic Precipitation and Air-Mass Parameters for Use in Forecasting and Cloud Seeding Evaluation
(American Meteorological Society, 1962)The physical basis for a relationship between orographic precipitation and air-mass characteristics, wind flow pattern and gross terrain features is outlined. Consideration is also given to the manner in which the precipitation ...
